Short question: is it not dangerous to plan to "steal" a biner or id from casualty? How can you prove it's in perfect working order and not the cause of the accident? Do you plan as it's ok and if not then "improvise"? Thx
Unless the casualty took a big fall or hit on the gear you can use it. That said, usually we make sure that the rescuer has all the gear he needs. That would mean proper planning. And Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance ;-) That said, in training for assessments we can safely assume that all the gear is good and use it in rescues.
Hey bro, love you videos Any chance you could do a video on how to correctly rig a larkin frame. We are using one on a roof top at the customers request. It's moving back towards the anchors the way colleague set it up. His first rigging was worse direct pull on a anchor lifting the roofing iron.
I couldn't fined online a video that show how to set up a re-anchor Y hang rigging for rescue climbing (level 2). I failed my level 2 cause I hand up being in 3 points of contact during rescue through re-anchor because of my poor choice of rigging ( 2 y hangs on 8s and butter-flights)
I am sorry to hear that man! There are so many ways to set it up. The only important thing is that the loop is deep enough to be able to keep descending. Usually only possible for a small re-anchor rescue. For a large one you will always need to ascend a bit. What I don’t understand is that how 2 y-hangs (perfectly good method for a re-anchor) could cause you to be on 3 points ? I am assuming it was a large re-anchor and you needed to ascend back up a bit an needed 4 point at that moment?
@@TheRopeAccessChannel The anchor: Y hang The loop to the re-anchor was going only to one bolt, causing a 3 anchor points on the traverse with the casualty. I know how I've should have done but I reckon that a lot of people have done the same mistake that I did, causing a major. Btw I couldn't do a bunny ears on the anchor cause I got asked not to. But I could of on the re-anchor. My bad. Cheers
@@maggiopd Yeah man, that is just an honest mistake. Sometimes we make a bad judgement call while somewhere deep down we know it should be different and during assessments I see people who want to keep moving forward instead of taking a few minutes or move back a few steps to reassess the situation. We live and learn..
I had to rewatch it myself to see what you mean. In the beginning I explain the situation and setup and mention the friction biner. When I transfer it from the "old" to the "new" descender I say "I take out the friction biner and i can already set it up". So where should I say more about friction biners? I have not found a point where it should be mentioned.
Very well explained, thank you, Jim H.
Very welcome🙏🏼🙏🏼
thanks for the knowledge you share Greetings
My pleasure!

Thanks man
I dont know what a Larkin frame is??
I looked it up. I have worked with it. I would tell your colleague to RTFM ;-)

@@maggiopd Aha, thanks for clarifying 🙏🏻. Yeah that would constitute a major discrepancy unfortunately .. We live and learn!!

dear.sir .i have acessement L 2
How can I help you?
Sorry only on the first maneuver.

I see the extra friction biner but no mention of it.
I’m not sure what you are getting at?
